  • Patent number: 8312565
    Abstract: A fabric flap for attaching to an infant garment such that the flap is within reach of an infant at all times, so that the infant can grasp the flap in a hand, particularly when the infant flails about while crying. The flap is a comfort object that sooths and comforts the infant, replacing a security blanket or other type of lovey. With the flap, the infant can touch a cheek and a chin, but the flap cannot reach and block a nose or a mouth, removing the threat of suffocation. The infant can freely move an arm holding the flap. The flap attaches to a one-piece garment that extends over an infant torso to a crotch, the crotch of the garment selectively fastened closed. In a further embodiment, the flap attaches to a torso harness that extends from the neck to the fastened closed crotch.
